Can I Take My Son To My Father’s If My Husband Isn’t Okay With It?
We are married. Not going through divorce. I’ve just had enough of him constantly playing video games and putting them over our child.
For context, he was playing last night while I was pumping and our 2 month old son started crying. He needed a diaper change. I asked him to change him because I was plugged in. He kept saying I just need 5 minutes. So I unplugged myself from my pump, got up, changed him and fed him. All while my husband is still playing the video game.
I get home from work today at noon, I walk in the door and my son is crying. Again, husband on the video game. I got my son settled down, went to the bathroom and he started crying again. I yelled to my husband to see what the baby needed and it was “I just need 2 minutes this game is almost done”
I flushed and went off. I told him I’ve had enough of him putting the games before our son and before our relationship. He told me I need to get a hobby and make time for myself. I was like kind of hard to do when I’m constantly tending to the baby, I give him a bath while you’re down here for another 20 minutes playing the game. I’m doing dishes before bed, flipping laundry, I have to ask for help with chores. The only 2 things he does without me having to ask is pick dog poop (he does this like every 2-3 weeks) and take the trash down to the curb 1 x a week. Outside of that, if he’s home he’s on his damn video game. It’s an addiction and he just doesn’t see it.
So, I’m wondering if I can legally take my son to my dad’s for a few days. First off to clear my head but also then I know my son isn’t crying and being put second to a video game because I’m not there. My husband won’t approve of me taking out and I know this. But I need to know if it’s legal for me to do so or not. I don’t think he’d hurt our son but neglecting to finish a game? 100000%
I’m in Ohio.
